The entrancing story of the Brontë sisters' childhood imaginary world, from the New York Times bestselling graphic novelist. Four children: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne have invented a world so real and vivid that they can step right into it. But can reality be enough, when fiction is so enticing? And what happens to an imaginary world when its creators grow up? Plots are spiralling, characters are getting wildly out of hand, and a great deal of ink is being spilt... Welcome to Glass Town.

I was never really into any of the Brontë sisters' novels. I read Wuthering Heights back in high school and didn't like it. In fact, I don't think much of the class liked it. One day we had a substitute teacher in for our English class and when we figured out she hadn't read Wuthering Heights, we filled her in on the plot and added our own characters and plot points. But I digress. Not being a huge Brontë fan in no way detracts from my enjoyment of this short graphic novel that delves into the Brontë sisters (with brother Branwell) creation of two imaginary cities. The siblings would tell stories about these cities and their inhabitants. This book shows that off well and its fun to learn of all the creativity behind it as well as learning more about the Brontës themselves. Pretty cool.
